    I think the point is that JJ would improve playing PF with a big center next to him. Maybe a Marc Gasol?

    Obviously Hickson isn't as dynamic as Aldridge, but I think he compliments Lillard well. He's only 24, and he'll probably be cheaper. :dunno:

    I'd shop Aldridge and just see what you can get. Not saying trade him, but it would be interesting to see what kinds of offers would be put on the table.

    I think Aldridge and Hickson compliment each other well too.

    I do too. JJ needs to be under the basket. LMA does not. You pair him with a Demarcus Cousins or a Dwight Howard and he will not excel as much.

    In what way? Neither is an ideal defensive player. Hickson may have more rebounding chops versus Aldridge's smoother offensive game, but the bottom line is that both of them are power forwards.

    Well because Aldridge is more a shooting pf, while Hickson is starting to prove he can bang down low. Also the centers are usually assigned guarding Aldridge, and there aren't many centers in the league that demand doubles and can score down low on their own.

    Dame looked like Blaze bouncing off the trampoline for a dunk on that! Sick!

    My dad and I were going crazy when he threw that down.

    Can you imagine how awesome that dunk would have been if Damian was an explosive athlete?! MAN! :lol:

    I know. That's exactly what I was thinking when he threw that down. Not explosive? WTF? And water isn't wet....
